About Aqua Net & Funyuns
From the publisher's feed
Aqua Net & Funyuns is a podcast of five different operas connected by dozens of hidden Easter Eggs. Each episode highlights the cliff-hanger nature of serial narratives by alternating between all five operas in "round-robin" style. The serial episodes tell compelling stories with vocals, instruments and immersive sound design.
Another One Bites
A high school student ditches an anti-drug assembly to smoke pot and hides from a cop in a porta-potty—which becomes a portal to a parallel universe.
Arkana Aquarium
A widowed janitor at an aquarium becomes convinced his wife has been reincarnated. As the newly acquired fish.
Beauty Shot
What starts out as a simple trim turns into a murderous trial of infidelity at a quiet hair salon in Kansas.
Ships That Pass
When Alden discovers that his deceased mother authored queer fanfiction, he reexamines his high school memories and his reluctance to tell her about his own queer identity.
The Understudy
An opera company hires a private eye to go undercover as an understudy to a soprano.
